Self-portrait with Bandaged Ear, Easel and Japanese Print , January 1889, Oil on canvas, 60 × 49 cm., Courtauld Institute Galleries , London (F527) Vincent Willem van Gogh ( UK / ˌ v æ n ˈ ɡ ɒ x / , US / ˌ v æ n ˈ ɡ oʊ / ; [ note 1 ] Dutch: [vɑŋ ˈɣɔχ] ( listen ) ; 30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter whose work, notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty, and bold color, had a far-reaching influence on 20th-century art. After years of painful anxiety and frequent bouts of mental illness, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] he died at the age of 37 from a gunshot wound, generally accepted to be self-inflicted (although no gun was ever found). [ 3 ] [ note 2 ] His work was then known to only a handful of people and appreciated by fewer still. Van Gogh loved art from an early age.
